Michigan State ended Harvard University’s run at the National Collegiate Athletic Association men’s basketball tournament, joining defending champion Louisville and top-ranked Florida among the final 16 teams while Villanova and Syracuse were eliminated.

Michigan State, which along with Florida is a co-favorite of oddsmakers to win the championship, blew a 12-point halftime lead and trailed the Ivy League champions with just over seven minutes left yesterday before pulling out an 80-73 victory.
